DEFINITION

Classification: 435/289.1

Bioreactor:

(under subclass 283.1) Apparatus adapted for the growth or propagation of a microorganism or enzyme, or for the synthesis of a composition or compound using a microorganism

or enzyme.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

307.1, for apparatus for maintaining a microorganism in a viable state.

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS

156, Adhesive Bonding and Miscellaneous Chemical Manufacture, appropriate subclasses for chemical manufacturing apparatus not elsewhere provided for producing articles of manufacture, and see especially

345, for differential etching apparatus.

196, Mineral Oils: Apparatus, appropriate subclasses for apparatus for treating mineral oils. Catalytic apparatus, even though employed for carrying out a catalytic-cracking process provided for in Class 208, Mineral Oils: Processes and Products, is classified in Class 422. 204, Chemistry: Electrical and Wave Energy,

193+, for apparatus employed in carrying out a process provided for in that class, which apparatus is not provided for in any other class.

210, Liquid Purification or Separation, for reactors utilized in purifying liquids.

250, Radiant Energy,

255, for apparatus for testing earth material samples involving, and in name only, chemical or physical separation and an invisible radiation test of the separated material; subclass 281 for ionic separation or analysis apparatus; subclasses 306+ for the inspection of solids or liquids by charged particles and the detection of the particles modified by the solids or liquids; and subclasses 336.1+ for apparatus for analyzing material.

401, Coating Implements With Material Supply,

40+, and 44+ (particularly subclass 47) for a coating implement by means of which diverse materials are applied to a work surface.

422, Chemical Apparatus and Process Disinfecting, Deodorizing, Preserving, or Sterilizing, particularly

129+, for chemical reactors of a general nature.

423, Chemistry of Inorganic Compounds, for inorganic compound and nonmetallic elements and processes for their manufacture involving chemical reaction.
